The Gulf County Tourist Development Council Advisory Board would like to thank you for visiting our website and, hopefully, our quiet shores along the Gulf of America. We are here to help answer any questions you may have about our unspoiled natural environment and our welcoming communities. Our goal is to help visitors and locals alike enjoy all that Gulf County offers and create lasting memories in this special place we call home.
The Gulf County Tourist Development Council (TDC) is dedicated to supporting tourism that enhances both visitor experiences and the quality of life for our residents. The TDC is funded through tourism bed-tax collected in Gulf County, and these funds are reinvested to promote our destination, protect our natural assets, and encourage sustainable growth.
The Advisory Board is comprised of members appointed by the Gulf County Board of County Commissioners. The board includes representatives from tourism-related businesses, local accommodations, community leaders, and elected officials. Together, they provide guidance on tourism initiatives and ensure that Gulf County remains a welcoming destination for all.
